Mohamed Salah is not for sale and Liverpool have not received any offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, manager Jurgen Klopp said on Friday (Aug 25).British media reported on Thursday that Al-Ittihad were making a renewed push to sign the Egypt international, but Klopp said there would be no deal.Salah has scored 187 goals in 307 appearances since joining Liverpool in 2017, helping the club win the Premier League and Champions League."It's always difficult to talk about media stories because there's nothing to talk about from our point of view," Klopp told reporters ahead of Liverpool's game with Saudi-owned Newcastle United at St James' Park on Sunday."We don't have an offer, Mo Salah is a Liverpool player.
Obviously for all the things we do, essential, was, will be. There's nothing there, if there would be something the answer would be no."The German also said that 31-year-old Salah, who signed a three-year extension to his contract last year, is 100 per cent committed to Liverpool.Liverpool went down to 10 men in their 3-1 win over Bournemouth on Saturday with the sending-off of Alexis Mac Allister.
His red card has since been rescinded after an appeal. The manager said it was a massive relief."I wasn't sure after the game so when I saw the pictures back and I was really sure that it's not a red card," Klopp said, "but that doesn't mean immediately that our appeal will be successful".Mac Allister is now available for the game at Newcastle where Klopp will face Eddie Howe.Howe took over at Newcastle in 2021 and took the club to a fourth-place finish last season and Champions League qualification.
